Relaxing!
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend. We had a very relaxing stay, just what we were looking for! Also, caught a few fish. This place is well stocked with all your daily essentials. The view of the river is beautiful. The property owner is very responsive and helpful. We hope to visit this cabin again or check out another property from this same owner in the future soon(:

Perfect place to unplug
This is our second time renting this cabin and we just couldn't be happier. I can't think of a better way to unplug than here by the creek with the fishing poles and kayaks. The cabin was clean and the Creek was flowing... can't get better than that.

The perfect getaway
From the drive to the cabin to the experiences of the nature around it, Kimberly’s cabin is a much needed experience to those who need to detach from the outside world for a few days. It’s better than what most fancy hotels have to offer. It feels more like home. I am definitely hoping to come back someday in the future.

Two nighter
We expected it to be rustic but a little junkier than we thought. The inside space was nice and appliances and supplies were great. There just was a lot of junk outside the cabin under the building old grills and stuff that seems like they could’ve been discarded and it would look a lot better. And lots of tree work being done with the downed trees all around so not sure what’s going on with that.

Peaceful getwaway
We really enjoyed this little creek house and will probably try and stay there again someday. I would recommend a new mattress in the bedroom as it is older and reminds us of our grandmas, very soft and springy. This is a full mattress and not a queen but this was no problem for us. Well stocked with ktichen utensils and the antenna tv picked up several stations. We also brought along several DVD's as the TV does have a DVD player. Great trip and very relaxing staying next to the creek.

Pictures accurately reflect how the cabin looks. Getting to the property was rough with my little hybrid. Dealt with bugs (cockroaches?? - not sure don't live with them).

Very private getaway
It’s a very private getaway destination for whoever wants to escape from the day to day boredom and get closer to nature. Description or instructions could be more clearer. Like, well water only is supplied. Bring bottle water if you have concerns to drink well water. Anybody with sensitive stomach might not be able consume the water. I also have difficulty with locking the back sliding door. Literally I had no idea how to lock it before I went to bed. I was wondering if it was just broken or poorly engineered. Other than that. The owner is very nice easy to communicate. I give this review for her to improve her service and bring more business in the future.

Just what I needed
Peaceful, quiet, relaxing. The best way to start my retirement after 45 years of teaching Middle School. I read and napped and then read and napped some more. I did take a short excursion into Statesboro because I lived there the first 6 months of my life and had never been back. I found the house my parents life in and the church my dad pastored. A great time away and a wonderfully quiet place to stay!

weekend stay
We stayed there for my daughter's graduation for Georgia Southern. Owners were very pleasant and gave excellent directions to find the cabin. When we were confused finding it at night on the dirt road, they again were very helpful! Cabin was very clean and decorated nicely.

Vacation with nature!
My husband and I were looking specifically for a quiet cabin on the water where we could kayak, walk, bike and enjoy the evenings around a fire pit. This property accommodated that and more. The serenity of the Canoochee River and listening to the sounds of nature were perfect for the tranquil get-a-way we were hoping to find. Mind you this is off the main roads and if there has been a lot of rain, you may have an issue getting to the cabin, however, the owner redirected us and we had no trouble getting in or out. If we are up this way again, I would be happy to stay at this cabin. The Pressleys

Very quaint, romantic get away
Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed staying here. All local adventures were about 30-40 minutes away. Be prepared to have your car get very muddy! Adding WiFi would be a big plus! We like to binge watch while we’re away. But not necessary! Thanks Kim!

Thank you for visiting! I am glad you enjoyed it. I have considered wifi. I am still weighing out the pros and cons. If I got wifi, it would increase the nightly stay by at least $15 a night. I am trying to keep it affordable for guest. Most people are coming to get " unplugged". ????

So peaceful
This is the prefect place to get away from our busy lives and take time to just relax. We loved the canoeing and kayaking up and down the river. My son's went fishing and we just enjoyed family time. But was most impressive was the owner came by on Saturday afternoon to make sure we were happy with the place and if we needed anything. She was super nice and made me feel welcomed to stay at her place. She went above and beyond to make sure our visit was nice and supplies everything you would need. Thank you!!!

Not 1 negative thing to say!
From booking to departure, everything was wonderful! This place was perfect for me and my two young kids. We added an extra night so we could fully enjoy it after our ball tournaments. Don’t book in the city! Make this your home when you are in Claxton or surrounding town. We even made a day trip to Savannah & Tybee since it’s only an hour away! We will be back!

Literally right on the river. Cabin is wayyyyy back in the woods on a dirt road (some parts are pretty bumpy). The cabin is so incredibly cozy. We fished, sat on the back deck and read for hours, grilled steaks on the grill and cooked breakfast in the well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable bed. Even Miss Kimberly surprised us with a quick visit just to check if we had everything we need. We couldn't figure out the TV and she came in and fixed the problem for us. Be aware, though, that there is another cabin extremely close by. If there are people there at the same time, you will lose pretty much all of your outside peace, quiet and privacy. We were lucky enough that no one next door at the same time. Didn't want to leave. I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed.

Consider the cost of staying at this cabin, everything was great! The river is where we really wanted to hang out anyway and it was just amazingly beautiful! Thanks for the great memories!
